I need feedback from owners...
Will be reloading .45/9mm/.38Special and .223Rem. Just a couple weeks ago I started with .45 (damn this hobby is addictive). I'm on a serious budget, but would like to charge cases a little more quickly than with dipper/trickle method.
Basically, my budget permits either the Lee Pro Auto Disk/dual-disk kit/rifle-charging-die/Adj charge bar (all together) or the Hornady LNL Powder measure.
I know the LNL has optional small/large sized and micrometer metering inserts, but I can't afford them right now, or for a while.
The Lee is probably the most convenient, since it fits in the belling dies, and just using the ram to charge all the cases will likely be quicker.
How is the LNL Measure with the stock insert? Will it throw charges between 8 and 25 grns with spherical and flake powders well enough? I can take a look at the Lee, but have no way to check out the LNL, although Midway's reviews seem very positive on BOTH the LNL and Lee.
Like I said, the Lee all tricked out and the Hornady out-of-box are the same money, which is a "better" choice and why for the calibers I'll be loading.
Help me out please, thanks in advance for any advice.
